p enn State’s Representatives at
t)es Moines to Tell of Conven
tion Saturday and Sunday Nights
The Penn State delegation has re
turned from the Eighth International
Student Volunteer Convention and tho
message which tho delegates havo for
the students Is one of slnccro worth.
This was without doubt the most cos
mopolitan coin nation of thti naturo
that has ever been held In the world
There wcie over seven thousand stu
dents representing all nations and races
of th 0 world met together to consider
the most pressing arid urgent problems
of the hour—lho mission Held and tho
message of Christianity It might bo
well lu state til this point tho real pur
pose of tho Student Volunteer move
ment. Any prison who hus so caught
the \ Islon of tho unuvungcllzcd part
of the world that It Is tho ulm of that
person to bccomo a foreign missionary
upon signing a declaration to that ef
fect becomes enrolled ns a Student
\olunteer. Whll 0 this conference was
held under the caption of tho Student
Volunteer movement. It was for other
students who mo not definitely decid
ed that this shall bo their Held of en
deavor. In so doing the messuge of tho
convention Is In ought before more stu
dents
To make n detailed report of sessions
would involve too much t!m 0 and spaco,
consequently the main points alono ars
to be cmphaslLvd With such men as
John R. Mott. Sherwood Eddy and Rob
ert Speer leading, the conference was
Intensely Inspirational and at the sumo
time all discussion was based on sound
experience and logic. Tho first out
standing ipolnt which was discussed
was the great vision of tho world of
toduy, with its grout opportunity and
its aver Increasing call for tho real
message ot Christianity In tho words
of John R. Mott, this world today is
new, shaken, impoverished, emblttor
od, sugaring, sorrowing, confused, be
wildered, plastic, humble, toachablo and
oxpectunt Tho need of men with tho
real spirit of Jesus Christ In their Uvea
to furry the power which they have
found to other people of tha world was
never so great ns toduy. The chullongo
of the convention was that every del
egate would set his life to tho task
that the motto of the movement might
be accomplished This motto was. one
that challenges all today—" Tho Evan
gelization of the World In This Genera
tion "
Tho second principle which was set
forth was that overy man must search
his own heart und And it ther© wiy
heathenism thero If there to. tho only
way In which It may bo cast out Is
by four touchstones, pointed out by
Sherwood Eddy in one of tho most
striking mldrcsuos of tho conference
Tho points referred to are purity, hon
esty, surrender and lovo expressed
through service As a challenge In this
address. Dr L‘ddy said, "act greater
things in this life" Dr Eddy further
maintained that the only solution for
the problems of mankind, moral, social
and spiritual, is th c religion of Jesus
Christ
The last and foremost topic of tho
conference was that Christ is a living
realliy and that to get tho most out
of this life one must have this living
reality In his own life Even though
It might appear thut there is not a real
living Christ, tho mcro contact with
such men as Sherwood Eddy and Rob
ert Speer, as well as many others
proved beyond a shadow of doubt that
Chrißt can become a dynamic force In
thc life of man In the summing up of
the great spirit of this wonderful gath
ering. tho prlmnry noto was that Jesus
Christ Is real and is sufficient to meet
the conditions of tho world today,
changed by thc war and last that overy
person should stop now, and look, not
to Afrlcn to seo tho sins there, but
squarely In his own heart, and seeing
th 0 heathenism thero should cast It
tut, und receive tho dynamic power of
Christ ns a part of his own Ufo
